It was fun!I hesitate to ask for a definition. Does a casualty volunteer inform next of kin or others after someone dies from a fire or violent crime, or That sure does not sound like fun.No, we were actors. We were wounded and the emergency medical responders were to treat and transport us. It was a training exercise where we were live dummies with injuries for the scenario. Whew, LOL! But they also need to request a very heavy, large volunteer without insulting anyone. That has got to be a common situation.Oddly enough there are some that are larger than normal gladly take on the part in these exercises. I have participated in a few mass casualty exercises that required moving large individuals and it's a real challenge to take care of these folks. Now I'm curious, at the mass casualty event, how large is large? I've read about ambulance attendants having to move people that weighted enough to require the fire department cutting open walls and using equipment to move the patient. I recall a few times as a LE officer having to help our ambulance responders move a big guy but in my little world I don't think those big guys ever weighed much over 300 pounds which is a lot lighter than really big people. When you are young, fit and strong that's just a fun challenge.I worked Hurricane Katrina with the DMORTs. Their biggest headache was finding enough body lifts to lift large individuals into and out of the refer trailers to do the autopsies. They did everything they could to be respectful for the deceased. Some of these individuals weighed anywhere from 400 to 600 lbs.Getting HD equipment inside small doors would be a challenge. I've even read of people who had to be removed from upper apartment floors with the aid of a crane just outside the window or wall, which had to be cut open larger.Lifting heavy humans (or any nonrigid thing) by hand would be much harder than lifting the same weight in, say, lumber or aluminum.
